Work in Progress: The tactics, and Politics of the KKK, modernized, via Infragard, et al

In its finest, most American hour, the Ku Klux Klan claimed Presidents, congressmen, senators, judges on the United States Supreme Court; and a host of local and elected officials across the country.

And, especially, and not at all insignificantly, many police officers were members who, at the most selective and localized nexus of Klan violence, instigated, tolerated, or otherwise allowed the law to be merely words, unenforced, selectively.

Lesser studied, and lesser known, is how these agents of social control interacted individually with others in the KKK to violate, incite, intimidate, and harass outspoken dissident members of the KKK’s targeted groups.

If history provides us one lesson, it is this :

Naming them is the key to unmasking them and diminishing their power; removing the hood of privileged narratives, privileged misconduct, and privileged political relationships, reveals the coward behind the mask.

And, in the day of the Klan, these cowards relied upon tired tropes, and false narratives to perpetuate their violence.Yet few of the narratives had more power than that of black men as rapists–and as perverts who might defile “our daughters,” or otherwise gain sexual power through the women of a hygenically ‘pure’ nee~ racially pure, and eugenically guided ‘future America.’

The allure of the “invisible empire” and its public anonymity were also appeals for potential Klansmen.[2] In addition to

the empowerment of membership in an empire that was secretive, Klansmen also enjoyed a kinship-like bond from membership.

and was dismantled in 1871 by law. A second organization by the same name was founded in 1915 and yet a third incarnation
